Which would lead me to believe its a UPS issue. I had an item delayed a few weeks ago and had the same" as soon as possible" notification. The issue was with UPS.
Good luck, hopefully it arrives today.
Got a tip for us?

Yup, mine says it's still in PA so either the tracking info is wrong or it's definitely not coming today. I also ordered AirPods separately and they are out for delivery.
Click the photo button, which I’ve tried to circle in red in the screenshot below. It will bring up a window for you to select an image to insert.
10 minutes in and out of the Apple Store, my hour of appointments went really quickly!
I like the Blue, very nice. I do not notice the few grams heavier 17PM compared to my 16PM.
I asked and was told that our Apple Store does have the updater machine in back, but mine had to be updated, 5 minutes with my fast internet and a Thunderbolt 5 cable between Mac Studio and iPhone.

Cool! My girl got loaded at 9:11, so barring anything weird, I'll see her this evening.
Mine is Out for Delivery but did not get the Loaded on Delivery Truck scan!! Let’s see if it gets delivered! Transponder is ON with mine! I have had packages without that scan and got delivered!mine is on the vehicle and not showing a transponder
Picked up my Air at 8:00 at Apple Store. Love this thing.
For those that picked their phones up at Apple stores this morning and did the set up there. Were there any issues with Esim like there were with the 15 Pro Max launch or was it smooth?
I see them miss scans on occasion and they deliver. Had one that looked like it didn’t even make it to town as it missed the last several scans. Showed up anyway lol.
If it says out for delivery, it should be in your hands soon!
Transfer or Reset iPhone is at the bottom of the Settings>General page. It will give directions for preparation, though in my case it told me "That's it for now" as I'd already done the back, etc.
Mine had a problem but my old phone was an unlocked one that was on Xfinity until earlier this year and was then switched to Verizon. The Verizon Air I bought wouldn’t do the eSIM transfer so it took a call to Verizon to sort it out.

Did it update for you? I have one that’s ready for pick up and my other one isn’t.
I like this phone. It fees better in my hand naked than the previous years. Glad I upgraded.
I did ispu this time, because of the whole delivery date issue. There was not as much people as you would expect. I’ve only ever gotten a phone on release date from the Apple store one other time, got it from the same location as this one. That time was for the iPhone 6 Plus, and there was a crazy amount of people there. Not this time.
Got right in at 8am, despite my appointment time being 815-830. Will admit, I almost asked about changing my silver to orange. The orange looks so much better in person than any picture I’ve seen. The experience leaves a lot to be desired though. Got the phone, and they told me they would set me up with someone to get everything transferred over. I told them I only need a space to do it, that I already knew what I was doing, since I upgrade every year. First guy takes me to the second guy and tells him I already know what I’m doing I just need the space to do it. Second guy proceeds to walk me through everything like it’s my first time. Had me restore via backup insisting it would be faster. I usually do the side by side phone thing, which for me in my experience is faster. Took forever. Finally get the new phone set up. On to erasing the old phone. When I start erasing the old phone it gave me a message about id have to wait an hour to turn off find my and erase it because it’s in stolen phone mode (or something similar) because it’s in a not known location. The “genius” said no big deal he can grab a computer and erase the phone with it. The phone did say it was ready for trade in in find my. He starts erasing it and told me I could leave that we would be good from there. It’s still showing up on find my for me. So I hit the button to erase it in find my just in case and hit the remove from find my button. Guess we will see what, if anything, comes of that. While I appreciate the willingness to help, I wish they would of listened and just let me do my thing. I can almost guarantee it would of been a lot smoother for me to do so.
The phone itself, as I said feels great in my hand naked. I haven’t liked the way they have felt for the past few generations. And I haven’t been brave enough to go naked since they had the all glass backs. This one I think I might, other than certain times. Work, or when I’m out on my atv, or other high risk situations I’ll use the nomad case I purchased. But generally I think I’m gonna roll naked with this one. I feel more confident with smaller amount of glass. Speaking of which, I expected there to be a noticeable seam between the glass and the aluminum…there’s not. The phone is thicker, and slightly heavier, but to me that makes it feel more solid in my hand.
Overall so far, I feel it was worth the upgrade, even though I was coming from a 16 pro max. YMMV, of course, since everyone is different, but these are just my first impressions

Always get Pro, but the smaller one. I’ve never seen the attraction of big phones. Also getting a Watch 11 and AirPods Pro 3.
Earliest I have ever seen UPS in my neighborhood. Usually they roll through around 5-530 but today, 1030 so I have missed my delivery since I am at work. Now have to wait till Monday.
